I can not but fully approve. what Major-Genei al 'Silveira has done in . this res Peal. To us exactly the same thing as if they had remained prisoners of war, or surrendered at. discretion, and his situation - was critical The enemy advanced in supetior force Wi der General Serrai, and 'was in sight of our advanced posts. The cooddct of Major-General. Silveira de serves the highest praise, as well on account of the - skill and boldness with which he began the enter prise, as of the prudence with Which he pursued and terminated it, falling back in good order, and taking his prizes with him. Their Excellencies will find the success of this enterpi ize ma> •prove productive of the most fortunate consequences on the part of the Peninsula. By a subsequent leiter of the 11th inst. Major-General Silveira informs me that 'the garrison of the Castle of Puebla de Senabria was . a Swiss hattalion of 400 men, including nine Otlicers, and that the torce which General Serrai was on the point of opposing to them was 5000 Men; 800 of whom m ere cavalry. :The I\ilejor- General adds, that besides t h e above garrison be has sent to Oporto 60 deserters, who c"atne over to him from the enemy's army.
